No problem.

Linux isn't so bad, but it is different. One of the design metaphors for unix is to provide a bunch of small tools that the user can hook together to do what s/he wants (ie. through shell scripting). By literally adding just a few more lines to that script I could have simultaneously done a pattern-matched rename, moved them to a different folder, and uploaded them all to my web site. Once you get use to this way of doing things, you really feel boxed in on platforms that take a different approach. /gets off soapbox/ :-) -- Brad -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
